Looks great. The spoiler does make the car very noticeable (in a good way) 
. I may get the black emblems for my AW also.

Made s small little change that i'm really liking. I'll be the first to say that i'm very weary about changing the emblem on the bmw. VERY hit or miss. however i felt that since i was simply gonna go from the oem light blue to a moanco blue it woule be subtle and could end up tasty. i found a place online where you can buy overlays and simply place a vinyl sticker on top of your emblem. well... here's how it turned out.

nice, was thinking of doing this method with jet black instead of black and white carbon fiber but don't know if it will hold. Don't want the sticker to start coming off after a car wash.

i'll let you know how they hold up. they're supposed to withstand washes no problem and they give the feeling like they'll handle it no problem...

People have been using the overlays for years now. You'll be fine.
Oh and here's a cheaper alternative to buying black badges:

Just a little preview of my next mod. Ordered the Orion's, pulled out the headlights and I'm dropping them with Simon tomorrow...
